We have seen the neutrinos produced by nuclear fusion in the Sun's core.
Can you stop avoiding the question?
Why hasn't the Sun expanded into a gravitationally unbound cloud of thin gas?
Hello Loudmouth.I take it that you are not going to discuss the topic, nor other people's posts?
Hello Gracchus.No offense intended, but your powers of observation are somewhat problematic.
Why must anyone provide "proof"? No one has ever shown that there is any causation other than the natural.
There is no reason to believe in any "spiritual realm". Propositions asserted without evidence can be dismissed without evidence. If you can demonstrate the "spiritual realm", then James Randi has a million dollars for you.
It appears that you are confused, you seem to misunderstand that 'naturalism'Why must anyone provide "proof"? No one has ever shown that there is any
causation other than the natural.
Hello Gracchus.
You made the following claim.
It appears that you are confused, you seem to misunderstand that 'naturalism'
is a philosophy and that is all it is. You cannot prove or even offer any evidence,
to support a claim of a natural causation, to do so would require absolute knowledge.
naturalism noun
: a style of art or literature that shows people and things as they actually are
Full Definition of NATURALISM
1: action, inclination, or thought based only on natural desires and instincts
2: a theory denying that an event or object has a supernatural significance; specifically : the doctrine that scientific laws are adequate to account for all phenomena
3: realism in art or literature; specifically : a theory or practice in literature emphasizing scientific observation of life without idealization and often including elements of determinism
Is there anyone here, who can claim to have absolute knowledge? Is there anyone?
Okay, that math is only part of it. What happens to a gas when it is compressed?
Sorry, all you have there are a series of quote mines and quote mines are very poor evidence. The Bible says "there is no God" at least 12 times if you quote mine it. By the logic of the people that you just sited that is evidence that God does not exist. Are you sure that you want to go that route?
Who discovered and published this fact? Hint: it wasn't creationists.Do those that have faith in evolutionism realize that when the cambrian fossils are examined it is seen that the major phyla and classes of animals suddenly appear fully developed in the cambrian strata with no ancestral linage leading up to the many different phyla and classes.
Why are there no Cambrian whales, seals, walruses, or sirenians? Why are there no Cambrian turtles or ichthyosaurs?Fossils layers typically represent the biome and fauna in which they lived. I wouldn't expect to find a rabbit there.
It doesn't contain any birds, reptiles or amphibians either.How can you claim that life appeared fully formed in the Cambrian when it doesn't contain a single mammal?
First, this has nothing to do with the Cambrian explosion. Second, five to ten billion years ago there was more interstellar matter available to form stars; it hadn't been used up in producing the stars that we see. Third, may I take it that you accept that galaxies and stars have formed over billions of years?Hello Shemjaza.
Star formation.
For more than a decade, astronomers have known that stars formed
more rapidly in the past compared to today. At present, only a few stars
form each year in a typical large spiral galaxy like the Milky Way, but
five to ten billion years ago, the same kind of galaxy formed stars ten times
more quickly.

How about the reverse?
How could a gravitationally unbound cloud of thin gas, mostly
Hydrogen, become dense enough to collapse into a sun?
Hello Gracchus.http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/naturalism
Are we, or are we not, discussing definition #2?
We have observed cause and effect. All that we can demonstrate is the natural. The supernatural has never been satisfactorily demonstrated. There is no reason, other than wishful thinking, to suppose the supernatural or non-material exists.
ME! ME!
I am not so sure about you, but I am absolutely sure that I exist.

Hello Gracchus.
You asked about the following.

It seems Humpty was cracked even before he fell off the wall."When I use a word," Humpty Dumpty said, in rather a scornful tone, "it means just what I choose it to mean- neither more nor less."
Hello Loudmouth.Do you think supernatural claims that lack supporting evidence are better explanations than natural processes backed by evidence? If someone said that Leprechauns create rainbows, not light refraction, would you agree that Leprechauns are the better explanation?
Hello Loudmouth.
This word 'evidence' is another difficult word to define.
The definition of evidence will reduce to what your philosophical disposition dictates.
